Alia Bhatt is set to thrill audiences in her latest film, ‘Jigra’, as she takes on a gripping action-packed role to protect her on-screen brother, Vedang Raina. The teaser trailer for ‘Jigra’ has just released, and it’s generating a buzz with its promise of intense drama and sibling loyalty.
Released via Alia’s Instagram, the teaser offers a sneak peek into a story that revolves around a fierce sister determined to rescue her brother. The trailer opens with Alia enjoying a quiet moment in a restaurant, where she begins recounting her life and her brother’s struggles to someone seated across from her.
